One thing which struck me as very odd (apart from driving on the wrong

from all four directions is required to stop.
The four-way stop has a significant benefit compared to a roundabout, in
that it is completely fair. It does not allow one heavily trafficked
route to monopolise the junction at peak times.
Hey, what if British roundabouts changed direction on a periodic (or
perhaps random) basis? That would make them fair.
Actually, it wouldn't, would it? More fun, though!
